💡 AI App Starter Prompt

Use this prompt to build a project with arcade-serve
Create a fully-functional mini-application using the 'arcade-serve' package that acts as a simple web server for hosting and managing various arcade games. This application should allow users to upload their own arcade games (compatible with arcade-serve), manage game listings, and provide a seamless experience for playing these games directly from a web browser. Here are the steps and features you need to implement:

1. **Setup**: Begin by setting up a basic Python environment with 'arcade-serve' installed. Ensure all dependencies are correctly imported and configured.
2. **User Interface**: Develop a clean, user-friendly interface where users can see a list of available arcade games. Each game should have a thumbnail and a brief description.
3. **Game Management**: Implement functionalities that allow users to upload their arcade games to the server. These games should be stored securely and organized efficiently.
4. **Server Integration**: Use 'arcade-serve' to serve these games over HTTP/HTTPS. Make sure each game is accessible via a unique URL and can be played directly in the browser.
5. **Security Measures**: Incorporate security measures such as user authentication and encryption for uploaded games to protect against unauthorized access.
6. **Analytics**: Include a basic analytics dashboard that tracks the number of plays per game, most popular games, and other relevant metrics.
7. **Testing & Deployment**: Test the application thoroughly to ensure all features work as expected. Then, deploy the application on a cloud platform of your choice, making it accessible to the public.

Remember to document your code well, explaining how 'arcade-serve' is utilized at each step. This project aims to showcase the capabilities of 'arcade-serve' while providing a practical and engaging application for users.
